What's New @ AVX - Issue 7

SM SeriesExtended Ranges and Capabilitiesof Military Grade Stacked CeramicsAVX has extended the QPL offering of the MIL-PRF-49470, switch mode power supply (SMPS)capacitors. With this range extension, AVX continues to lead the industry as the provider who canoffer the widest variety of QPL capacitors for standard reliability and is the only qualified source forspace level.MIL-PRF-49470 has two levels. Level “B” is the standard reliability version, while Level “T” is thehigh reliability version which is suited for space applications. The MIL-PRF-49470/01 specifies theunencapsulated version and the MIL-PRF-494470/02 defines the encapsulated version.These capacitors have been designed to handle extremely high currents and transients.Additionally, these capacitors offer an extremely low equivalent series resistance (ESR) andequivalent series inductance (ESL).For those customers requiring capacitors with special footprints, specialized testing or nonstandard capacitance or voltage, customized versions of these capacitors are available.Applications:• Military and defense systems• Aerospace and satellite programs• Avionics• Oil exploration/high temperature• High end power supplies (1-100kWtypical)• MRI power supplies• Welding equipment• DC snubbers• High voltage power suppliesKey Features/Benefits:• Widest QPL offering• Very large capacitance values• Ultra low ESR and ESL• Operating range -55°C to +125° C• SpiCALCI modeling software• Ability to absorb high shock, highvibration, and high transients• Custom/customized versions supportedand availableCAPACITORS49
